I'm just getting started with SpringSource, so I decided to make a Spring MVC project off the template.
However, as soon as I create the template, I get the following error in pom.xml
Execution default-resources of goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.5:resources failed: Plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.5 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Failed to collect dependencies for org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:jar:2.5 () (org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.5:resources:default-resources:process-resources)

Original error: Could not transfer artifact org.codehaus.plexus:plexus-container-default:pom:1.0-alpha-9-stable-1 from/to central (http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2): connection timed out to http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/codehaus/plexus/plexus-container-default/1.0-alpha-9-stable-1/plexus-container-default-1.0-alpha-9-stable-1.pom
I've tried reinstalling SpringSource multiple times, and I still get the same error. I'm using SpringSource 3.1.0 32-bit version on a 64-bit Windows 7 machine.
I think you need to update your Maven indexes so that it can download the appropriate library required for the template.
Go to Window > Preferences > Maven
Check Download Repository index updates on startup
Restart STS.
Attempt to pull down the template again.
Note: It may take some time to download all of the indexes.
